Provided by CAL

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces penne pasta
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
3 teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste, divided
3 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts with 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, making sure both sides are coated.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic, herbs, and vegetables will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent the chicken from burning and will allow it to cook through evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Tuscan garlic chicken is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its simple ingredients and quick cooking time, this dish is sure to become a family favorite. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice, and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
